It seems most everything looks much larger in photos, then when you get it, it like "Wow, really?" lol, much smaller

So it showed up today -- still waiting on the HH.357, but surprisingly, the Mt. Baker Vapor juices showed a day before I expected them to. Took the old 510 atty off the eGo and put it on the iTaste just to see what this little beauty can do, got a range recommendation of 3.3-3.7v -- which is one of the big reasons I got this, the ability to get a voltage recommendation -- and set it to 3.7. It's like the atomizer went back in time to the day it was new.

Another note on this thing -- it is truly way smaller than I expected it to be!

I just got my MVP today :D

I had been using 808's off and on for years between smoking analogs, but I knew they weren't going to cut it this time. I found the Kanger S1, which I really liked... but the damn plastic threading between the tank and battery is too easy to strip. Within a couple months I trashed 2 tanks and 1 battery. Now I've got a nice, boxy vv with an amazing battery life and solid construction... now I just have to find the perfect delivery system to top it off with. I guess I skipped the whole eGo phase... LOL!

I very nearly went for an eGo-V V2 -- but the iTaste won me over with its sexiness and the voltage range recommendation feature. As far as what to put on it, I think I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm a dripper -- if you are, too, I'll give a shout when I test out the HH.357 on it, which should hopefully be tomorrow. As far as clearos go, the Kanger M3 is pretty dang good.

I am loving the iTaste MVP just with the iClear 16's that it came with... I have a T3 and a VapeOnly BCC on order, so I can see what the difference is between top and bottom coils. I'm waiting for the genuine Vision Vivi Novas to come back in stock so I can try one of those. In a couple of weeks, I just may even try an RBA to see if it's for me... I haven't dripped before, because I've only used the 808's and the Kanger S1 up until now.

Everything changed for my vaping going to VV. Different juices tasted better at different voltages. Different atomizers tasted better at different voltages. It was wonderful.
And then I discovered VW...
And then I discovered rebuilding my own atomizers...
And then I discovered APVs and the fact I would get great vapes througout the life of a battery charge unlike the smaller VV devices...
And then I discovered the eVics MVR VV/VW tricks...
Now its a full-blown hobby.
Wonder what I'll discover next...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but everything I've read about the MVP says it's not compatible with the Kanger T3. Hope you have an eGo laying around somewhere to use that with, because in my experience, it's a great little clearo.

@SRusackas: I'm starting to think I'm going to slip down that slippery slope myself. When I got the Blu, I knew right away that wasn't it. Then I switched to the KR-808 in the form of the Halo G6, and I thought, "Yep, this is what it's all about."
Then I picked up my first eGo, paired that with a T3, and I thought, "Now this is it!"
Then I picked up a 510 atty for the eGo and I thought that was the be-all end-all.

I think I'm learning. I love the iTaste. Even found that if you take the silicone end-cap off the Kanger M3, that combination is the ever-lovin' (stuff.) The HH.357 at 5v on the iTaste is like nothing else.

But now I know... there's something even bigger and better around the bend. Yep. I'm learnin'.

They fixed that issue... the first ones that came out did not have eGo threading, but the one I ordered does. The T3 works just fine on it, but I'm liking the Vapeonly a little better. I'm waiting for a DIY order from Wizard so I can mix up the flavors and really test these out.

Well, now, that's straight-up awesomepants! Had I known about that, I might even have opted for the MVP over the iTaste VV; thing is, at this point, the eGo threading and higher battery capacity aren't strong enough motivation for me to go from one iTaste to the other. My thinking at this point is that my next gear purchase will be a Provari or Provari Mini. Due to the prices of those units and thanks in no small part to my extremely meager freelance writer's budget, I'll be enjoying my iTaste (its durability willing) for a very, very long time.

Also as a sidebar, to those who have the Kanger M3 clearo, I've discovered that if you remove the soft rubber end-cap from the mouthpiece section, the draw gets quite a bit lighter and the vapor quite a bit warmer.

So here's where the rubber finally met the road, y'all... tonight, I dropped the coin for my very first (ever) Variable Voltage setup. From vapors-ecigs.com, I bought an iTaste VV with the 510 connection, along with 2 Kanger M3 clearos. From Heather's Heavenly Vapes, I plunked down coin for Dragon's Fire and Oompa in 30ml, 36mg, 70/30 ratio. And, finally, at Avid Vaper, I dropped coin on an HH.357 atty.

No more Blu cigs. No more KR-808s. I have hit the big time. Stomp that kickdrum, fellas, my vaping balls have dropped, for good or ill, and I am in amongst yez. :D

John, welcome to the wonderful world of VV! :toast: Have fun cranking up the volts way too high living life of the vaping edge!! If you're anything like me (and many others lol) this VV mod will be everything you could ever want from a mod...for a few months or so and then it will be VW and mechanical mods and RBAs and pretty much anything else :laugh:

I'm still pretty well satisfied with the iTaste. I am firmly convinced now, however, that I will be a dedicated dripper -- going from the 357 to the Kanger M3 and back is a night-and-day difference in vapor, throat hit and flavor. I find that I typically only use an M3 when I'm going out. Working at my desk, it's the 357 from dusk 'til dawn.
